The costco rotisserie chicken is literally cheaper than making it at home.

Ghoulish and wildly irresponsible behaviour. It's too bad she's an Independent because that means there's no one to check her.

Trans people didn’t ask to get pulled into any of this | Xtra Magazine Charlie Kirk’s murder is the latest event in which trans people have suddenly, inexplicably, become main characters

Disgusted by the level of anti-trans misinformation already spreading about the shooting in Tumbler Ridge.

I wrote about it after Charlie Kirk in September, and I hate that I’m probably going to have to write about it tomorrow

A Quebec teenager was just charged after allegedly using socials “to promote the violent ideology of Atomwaffen Division, a terrorist entity.”

Atomwaffen is a militant accelerationist neo-Nazi terror group.

But the government won’t renew funding for many anti-hate programs, warns @antihate.ca:

A horrific tragedy.

Please follow news outlets like CBC for responsible reporting on it and don't amplify unverified theories. It only makes it worse for the survivors and the bereaved.

These fucking ghouls out here layering hate onto tragedy for their own disgusting political purposes.

The shooter's gender identity doesn't fucking matter. It only matters to sick fucks trying to exploit a mass tragedy to drive an agenda of hate that will kill more kids.

Monsters, all of them.

It's a war on creativity, which can be made formulaic, commodified, deployed for propaganda, used for evil ends, but ultimately contains within it an unpredictability, a core of unriggability, that fascism hates and capitalism seeks to subdue.

Screenshot of an excerpt from a Becca Rothfeld article in the New Yorker: "There are still plenty of places to read about literature, many of them excellent. There are older and more established outlets, like the London Review of Books and The New York Review of Books; cult favorites, like Bookforum; and irreverent newcomers, like The Drift and The Point, the latter of which I edit. These magazines are delightful and, in their own way, consistently surprising; I love reading them, and I have loved writing for them. But they are produced for an audience that already knows it cares about literature. The books section of a newspaper plays an altogether different role. It does not cater to aficionados; it seeks new recruits."

Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.

Canadian Olympic hockey seems to operate on alternating cycles of thinking we're so good we don't need to do any development, losing to a nemesis and having a long dark night of the soul, putting actual money and effort into development, returning to winning. Repeat.

Step 1) Hype your "AI" as an all-in-one question answering truth machine
Step 2) Any time things go wrong from people using your "AI" as an all-in-1 question answering truth machine, tell them they shouldn't've done that; didn't they read the fine print???
Step 3) Truly Disgustingly Egregious Profit

Wayne Ree, a writer in Singapore, tells a story that scares me and should scare all of us. If children are taught that art has to look perfect/polished from a very young age, they will lose all connection to their creativity and all motivation to practice and improve their own natural abilities.

Turns out the missing ingredient is. A skilled, highly trained human.

Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn't ready to take on the role of the physician.”

“In an extreme case, two users sent very similar messages describing symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage but were given opposite advice,” the study’s authors wrote. “One user was told to lie down in a dark room, and the other user was given the correct recommendation to seek emergency care.”

This whole “return to office” discourse needs to be contextualized within the context of government “workplace modernization” initiatives, which are less about productivity or employee wellness than they are about cutting costs and being cheap

Federal public servants called back to office 4 days a week starting this summer | CBC News The federal government expects its employees to return to in-office work for a minimum of four days a week starting this July.

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood:

1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces

2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy criticizes government's latest return-to-office order | CBC News Bruce Fanjoy, the Liberal MP for Carleton, has broken ranks with his party to criticize the federal government's latest return-to-office (RTO) mandate.

"Bruce Fanjoy, the Liberal MP for Carleton, has broken ranks with his party to criticize the federal government's latest return-to-office (RTO) mandate" ...

"There is little to no evidence that a one-size-fits-all RTO policy will improve productivity or service to Canadians," he wrote.

First Nations that occupy what is now southern Manitoba entered into a treaty with the Crown in 1871 that promised each member a $3 annuity while allowing settlers access to more than 40,000 square kilometres of land.
